One for One – TOMS shoes
Vegan Wrap Boots in Rust
- TOMS shoes
Have you seen that AT&T commercial for TOM’s shoes? You can view it here, but I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. With their one-for-one policy, you can make a purchase from TOMS amazing selection and end up with a pair for yourself while supplying a child in a developing country with one as well.
Why are shoes so gosh-darn important? The website says “Wearing shoes prevents feet from getting cuts and sores on unsafe roads and from contaminated soil. Not only are these injuries painful, they also are dangerous when wounds become infected. The leading cause of disease in developing countries is soil-transmitted parasites which penetrate the skin through open sores. Wearing shoes can prevent this and the risk of amputation.”
The designs are mostly casual, fresh and stylish. Most are the typical ballet flats made of canvas but you can also buy Vegan friendly Wrap-boots in fun colors.
And making an online purchase isn’t the only way you can help – there are a variety of ways to get involved, from internships to Campus Rep opportunities, all of which can be found on their website at tomsshoes.com
